The Government are currently asking HGV Drivers to return to the job, be it Class 2 or Çlass 1 C+E, which I have a licence & CPC for, yet I cannot return to the role, because I have no recent experience on my tacho card, employers are asking for 6 or 12 months history or they're not interested? Other than a recent driving assessment, which I paid for myself in August, £396.00 wasted ! Please inform the government of this because this stops drivers from returning to HGV driving, even when, like me, they may have driven whilst in HM Forces, driven after leaving or even passed & driven a North American rig delivering goods in & around Canada & USA Ps, you're doing great work, I often charge my car at Gridserve Charging Stations 👍

I’m struggling to influence the company I work for to go electric with our fleet of HGV’s. I’ve been heavily invested into electrified transport for over 11 years now. I would love to get involved in this space to help companies with the transition to a more sustainable haulage industry. I have over 16 years experience as a truck driver and I’ve been pushing our company to think of the future in how we could transition from our LNG and CNG fleet into a fully electrified fleet. We have the perfect use case for electrified transport to help encourage other companies make the switch. I’ve been running a large EV community in the North West of England since 2017 and I’m so passionate about the future of a electrified transport system. I fully understand the pros and cons that the industry has to face, from the charging infrastructure that needs to be implemented to the efficiency the drivers could get out of their vehicles with some extensive driver training on driver style. I currently train all our new recruits at the company I work for now. I just need to find a way to be part of this amazing transport system the UK could showcase to the world.

Tesla subsidise their network by selling cars. At one time that was totally as all of their cars had free supercharging for life. That ended quite a few years ago now but it's still not quite fair to compare Gridserve to the largest Western EV maker.
@markymarkreviews 6 ай бұрын
@@AdamPurcell Disagree. Wholesale electricity prices have continued to drop and drop. Gridserve all other networks have kept their prices very very high and suspiciously similar across the board. When petrol stations did the same when the price of oil dropped the public and the media would kick up a fuss and they would always start to drop their prices accordingly. They are simply RIP off prices charged by GridServe etc. Initial build costs are huge but the electricity supply is cheap. I always use Tesla now. And so many of their SuperChargers are now open all around the UK. (70+ and counting) 2-3 times cheaper than the completion and fantastically reliable app. And now a Tesla Membership means it is even cheaper. No brainer.

At some point you have to stop and ask: "Just what is it that EV's are supposed to be saving us from?" There is one question that is never addressed that would expose the "climate crisis" for the scam that it is, which is "What percentage of the atmosphere is CO2?" The answer, never given in plain language, is that CO2 is currently around 420 parts per million, (google it) increased, they tell us, from 280 ppm in 1850. That's a difference of 140 ppm, or in terms more readily understood by the layman, the composition of the atmosphere has changed by 0.014% (14 thousandths of 1%) in the last 170 years. LESS THAN 1 THOUSANDTH OF 1% PER DECADE! How much closer to "zero" do they think it's possible to get? How gullible do you have to be to believe that this rate of change is causing extreme weather events, which have always happened and always will? Their claim is that this tiny amount "traps heat". ALL gasses dissipate heat and even if CO2 is an exception, the suggestion that a total of 0.042% can overwhelm the capacity of the remaining 99.958% to dissipate that heat is abject nonsense. CO2 DOES NOT control the global temperature, there is no "climate crisis". Wind farms, solar panels, heat pumps, EV's.. None of these measures are necessary, nor will they have the slightest effect on the weather. Eye-watering sums of money have already been wasted on this futile exercise. Time to wake up, stop throwing our money at these boondoggles and squandering the world's resources on projects that cannot possibly succeed as there never was a problem to begin with. There is no need to save the planet from a minuscule increase in the gas on which all life depends, but it does need to be rescued from idiot politicians and media mouthpieces that push this garbage.

@@Simon-dm8zv Our annual emissions equate to no more than a couple of extra CO2 molecules per tree leaf on the planet, let alone every other species of flora on land and sea.. Nature circulates far more than our annual emissions every few days, rendering our contribution to background noise. Then consider that every living thing on the planet on the land, in the sea and in the air is composed of carbon compounds that were once in the air as CO2. The claim that it is only our "emissions" that remain in the air and accumulate year on year, nature cannot cope with our contribution or that the carbon cycle was somehow magically in perfect equilibrium before we started to burn coal and oil is a complete fairy tale designed to fool the gullible.
